Maritta Kuula

Maritta Kuula

Maritta Kuula started her solo career in 1992 with the Maritta Kuula & Karvanopat debut album.

Though stylistically different with her later material, you could already hear the vast variety of her musical influences. The lyrics convey the whole scope of the human nature while the songs are recognized for their humour and contrasting themes. This contrast of happiness and melancholy, light and dark has become the epitome of Maritta Kuula.

Now six studio albums later she still keeps on renewing her sound and sounds as fresh as ever. Her performances are rare and thus exiting every time. Her strong stage presence is amplified by her colorful and exquisite costumes worn on stage. And her bold arrangements still keep the listener captivated.

In addition to her solo career Maritta Kuula has been a core member of 500 kilos lihaa and she has spent her spare time writing music to plays and documentaries, writing quirky short stories and lyrics to other Finnish artists.
